Yeah, I wasn't a fan of the KCP signing. I felt he was similar to Suggs, and thought we needed more of a shot creator in the backcourt. Plus, I feel KCP is a last piece you add to a contender, not a team that looking to make a jump coming out of the rebuilding stages.

Yeah, that's the thing with Weltman, he's all over the place. I think Tyus Jones is a year too late, especially after drafting Jase Richardson.

Bane posted on Twitter in April 2024 that "doors [are] always open" for a reunification with Jones.

Stein said we're interested in Tyus Jones.

Tre Mann might hit the market. He's a nice guy to target on a one year prove it deal.
